Ingredients
2 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1 whole egg, at room temperature
2 egg whites, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup pancake mix (like Kodiak Cakes or similar protein-packed mix)
½ cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, whey or plant-based)
1 teaspoon baking powder
2–4 tablespoons sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Set out the cream cheese, egg, and egg whites to come to room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese, whole egg, egg whites, vanilla extract, and butter until smooth.
- Add the pancake mix, protein powder, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add your sweetener. If using a liquid sweetener, it will help add moisture. If using powdered sweetener, add a small amount of almond milk to achieve the right batter consistency.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Line a muffin tin with parchment paper or use a silicone muffin pan. Divide the batter evenly into 9 muffin cups.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool before removing them from the pan.
Notes
Substitute blueberries with raspberries or chopped strawberries.
Use flavored protein powder like vanilla or berry for extra taste.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest for enhanced flavor.
Swap butter for coconut oil or a dairy-free alternative.
Use sugar-free syrup or sweetener alternatives to adjust the sweetness level.
